Track Setup Improved

Description
This is a longer setup of the tracks I used in my excavator build, now set up more like a tanks tracks would be. The biggest improvment was implementing a gear type system to catch the teeth of the tracks, preventing slipping makes for much more responsive turns and acceleration.

I will also upload the improved version of my original tracks which actually proved capable of being used with block destruction on, however this larger version is yet untested.

As always if you like this build please give it a thumbs up, and if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, leave them in the comments below and I will get back to you, hope you enjoy! 8D

@Ace "Mania" Red Most likely because of the current issue with blast door blocks collision hit box. Wont work at the moment most likely, just gotta hang on until they fix it.

@VertoPL Size is kinda limited by the strength of the rotors, should I do another of these in the future I will most likely add more drive wheels to the center.

Well the rotor heads you see on the side of the tracks, actually pass through rotors without heads on the sides and can be attached to them to combine it with the main grid, and then released again when you want to use them.

this was a while back. the problem was the tracks weren't considered part of the grid. i haven't tried your's yet.

@Vesimir Black had to look it up actually XD, an I am not the first to make tracks, but I do think this is the first time I've seen them using gears.

@Korvatus Klok, I pasted these in several times during their construction with no issue, is this an issue you had with my tracks or another?
